LAURA + PAUL

by Leave a Comment

Heres a little look back one off my favourite micro weddings and one I won’t forget for the rest of my life. Laura and Paul had been due to get married in Bali but Covid put pay to those ideas so instead they put all their efforts into creating a truly spectacular day at low Hall the Lakes with all their nearest and dearest. A phenomenal team of suppliers along with Laura’s vision created a stunningly romantic setting for the high school sweethearts. Laura’s surprise announcement she was pregnant just put the cherry on top of an already incredible day.

Helen + Mark

Such a beautiful wedding that held quite personal significance to me in that the very first wedding I shot was Marks older brother. Now ten years on this was the third Ellershaw sibling whose wedding I’d had the pleasure of photographing. The day began at Helens parents house and as they always do the farmhouse produced limited but awesome lighting for the very chilled out morning. We then moved onto Helens local Methodist church at Quernmore, packed to the rafters for a lively service before making our way to Chipping parish hall.

If my memory serves me right this was one year on from my own wedding at this very venue, Low Hall the Lakes, declaring the vows in the exact same place. I may not have enjoyed it quite as much as my own wedding (might be ever so slightly biased there) but it was a pretty damn good wedding! So much love, I mean so much love everywhere… a really beautiful heartfelt wedding with the most awesome bride and groom and all their family and friends.

Its not everyday one of your best pals sisters asks you to take her wedding photos but that happened right here for Beth and James’s big day. Its always a joy to photograph anyones wedding but when you have a close affiliation to one of the bridal party its always that little bit extra special. This was no different, seeing Beth put on her dress and marry the love of her life was incredible. Im not sure Arkhoplme village hall has seen so many Pina Coladas but it was one very sure way to get the party started!!

A look back to 2019 when we free to do what we wanted at weddings. This wedding will always hold a special place in my heart as it is the first wedding I shot at Low Hall the Lakes after it officially opened and nearly a year after I got wed there. Rachael and Chris couldn’t have been two nicer people to photograph so chilled out and relaxed just letting the day evolve as it happened. Rachael got ready at her parents, a stones throw from the barn and wed at blindbothel church between the two.

After cancelling their first date and gorgeous venue for 150 guests they set about changing plans and found Low Hall The Lakes. They stayed the night in the farmhouse prior to booking and fell in love, so set a date a booked Low Hall The Lakes Micro Wedding Package, which includes me! Working closely with Francesca and Ben they came up with a new plan but thanks to Bojo and some last minute Christmas changes their party of 12 went down 2. So after a whole lot of replenning, Plan G was the perfect plan to be.

A slight change of plan due to minus temps and icey roads we adventured around..Crummock Water, Moss Force Waterfall & Surprise View. Packed with Baileys Hot choc and Buzz the dog in the boot.

ELOPE

With the future of weddings as we know them slightly uncertain. I was lucky enough to be approached by one of my all time favourite venues, low hall the lakes to collaborate on a styled elopement shoot with some fabulous suppliers.

Elopements are great and for those of you that want the intimacy and the romance of a wedding without all the baggage this is the perfect option. Whether you want a picnic by the lake a hike up a mountain, a dreamy intimate ceremony in the woods, the beautiful library or maybe all of the above this is the perfect option.

They are fantastic to shoot as you get so much more time with the bride and groom to produce some incredible stuff.
